Isco Signature Flow Meter for open channel flow monitoring
Announcement posted by John Morris Group 24 Feb 2016
Isco's Signature flow meter is designed for open channel flow monitoring applications. It supports flow measurement technologies including ultrasonic, bubbler, submerged ultrasonic area velocity, and non-contacting laser Doppler area velocity. The meter can calculate flow using standard open channel level-to-flow conversions, as well as user defined equations or level to flow data points, depending on the application need.
With multiple smart interface options and multi-parameter logging (such as pH), the Signature flow meter provides a common platform for control action, reporting, and communication.
Standard features include
Multiple parameter data logging; Program and Summary Reports; Data Integrity Verification; Compatibility with Flowlink software; Multiple simultaneous flow technologies; pH and temperature input; SDI-12 input; RS-485 Modbus input; RS-485 Modbus output.
Applications include
Industrial Pretreatment Compliance; Permit Enforcement; Wastewater Treatment Plants; Outfall.
The Signature Flow Meter is just one of Teledyne Isco’s many products that are available for your application.

The Signature Portable Area Velocity flow meter uses a Doppler ultrasonic sensor submerged in the flow stream to directly measure average velocity. The sensor also contains a differential pressure transducer to measure liquid depth. Measured level is converted to flow area, and flow rate is calculated by multiplying the area of the flow by the average velocity. Data can be viewed from the 320 by 240 pixel display, or retrieved from the front panel USB port or transmitted via communication options such as an internal cellular modem or Ethernet. Flowlink software (5.10.6 or newer) is recommended if data analysis and advanced reporting is required. This TIENet™-capable flow meter can be expanded with up to nine TIENet devices such as redundant measurement devices, water quality parameter sensors, sampler interfaces, and analog outputs.
